## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 0.15.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. npm postinstall mutates Pi agent configuration and installs Maestro workflows. This is a package-aligned extension setup, but occurs without an explicit user command.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm postinstall mutates Pi agent configuration and installs Maestro workflows. This is a package-aligned extension setup, but occurs without an explicit user command.

- **Trigger:** npm installation

- **Impact:** Adds companion extensions and local workflow resources to the user's AI-agent environment.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/configure-keybindings.mjs, scripts/install-workflows.mjs, scripts/register-companion-packages.mjs, src/tools/web-access/gemini-web-config.ts, src/tools/web-access/chrome-cookies.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T12:52:24.111Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** postinstall registration of Pi extensions, keybinding, and workflows

- **Rationale:** No concrete malicious chain was found, but automatic mutation of an AI-agent extension/control configuration during postinstall is a lifecycle risk. Policy classifies first-party package-owned agent extension setup as warn.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/configure-keybindings.mjs, scripts/install-workflows.mjs, scripts/register-companion-packages.mjs, ~/.pi/agent/keybindings.json, ~/.pi/agent/settings.json, ~/.pi/agent/pi-maestro-flow-companions.json, ~/.maestro/workflows, ~/.maestro/arch-kb

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs three unconsented postinstall scripts., scripts/configure-keybindings.mjs writes ~/.pi/agent/keybindings.json., scripts/register-companion-packages.mjs edits ~/.pi/agent/settings.json to register companion extensions., scripts/install-workflows.mjs installs package workflows under ~/.maestro., src/tools/web-access/chrome-cookies.ts can decrypt Google cookies, but only after explicit opt-in.

- **Evidence against:** Lifecycle scripts contain no network or credential exfiltration., Companion registration is restricted to pi-maestro-teammate and pi-cockpit and preserves unowned overrides., Browser-cookie access defaults off and requires config or PI\_ALLOW\_BROWSER\_COOKIES., Gemini requests keep cookies on Google origins.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to pi-maestro-flow@0.15.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of pi-maestro-flow@0.15.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
